Staycations, Birthdays and New Computers

Happy Tuesday world!As many of you may have known, yesterday was my birthday and it turned out to be a good one.It was my husband’s first day back to work, after taking an 18 day Staycation, which was a gift in itself. Not that I don’t love the Mister or anything, but 18 days at home together is just 16 days to many.

I also got my new computer in yesterday...Which as soon as my husband got home, from his first day back at work, after 18 days at home (yes I know I am repeating myself), he insisted we take the computer out of the box.I, on the other hand was perfectly happy leaving it in the box until I was ready to play 20,000 questions with it—also known as I’m a new computer, now tell me your life’s story, home network , key code, password, etc... But no, he insisted on taking it out of the box.Now, in a normal house, when a new computer arrives, a person might carefully take it out of the box and place it under the desk, then gently attach the wires as per the diagram, making certain everything is correct before nervously pressing the power button for the first time.Not here, no, we just dump it out on the kitchen table and open that Bitch up...kind of like a car mechanic at a car show, checking out what’s under the hood.Oohing and aahing at the contents...look at the pretty blue lights!!!

The best part is, when Blizzard finally releases Diablo 3...I’ll be ready, 1gig graphics card and all.

Hey, it's been awhile since you bought your computer. How is it now? I hope you are maintaining it so you can use it for a longer time. You should update the anti-virus program regularly, clean and defragment the hard drive and delete unnecessary files. If you do all these things faithfully, I’m pretty sure you wouldn’t bid your computer goodbye anytime soon.

About Me

As a teen C.G. Powell was selected as a member of her school's newspaper staff. After her first article the editor decided the darkroom was a more suitable place for her skills…or lack of. Since then, she has traveled everywhere—thanks to her innate curiosity about the world and the Navy. In her life time, she has learned: aviation electronics, CCNA networking, Gemology and how to get bloodstains out of the carpet (you never know when you might need that). But her latest, all-consuming, endeavor is storytelling. When asked why, her response was "I live to challenge myself; I like to be pushed outside of my comfort zone and writing is one of those things that pushes my boundaries. Besides it was the only way to share all of the crap bouncing around in my head!"
C.G. Powell lives in Virginia with her husband and children. When she is not writing, you might find her watching hot guys jog past her front window, ordering the cabana boy to fix her another drink or abusing the local authorities…but that’s just hearsay.
